[OpenLayers-Users] Smooth transition between two Image layers

[Jesper Larsen]

Hi Christopher, realjax and others,

As I understand your answer Christopher there is nothing I can do to
avoid the blinking. Is that a correct understanding? In case that is
not how I should understand your answer I have setup a minimal demo of
the problem on:

When you press the switch button (with most of the browsers I have
tested) the OpenLayers map blinks but the ordinary html img attribute
does not. Any help on this issue is still very welcome.

Regards,
Jesper
